I quote from the celebrated I'rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whoso work on tho “ Princi pi.is and I’ractiee of Physic” Is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On pige sit, lie says : —“We hear continually, both in aud out of the profession, different sped -s of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, •Vc. And s.v lemutie writers are to tin- full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Entoric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this still-division, is hud and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lin ■ of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the m -st dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great foct, one worthy of remembrance and l would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “ mime;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you will be wi ll nsteud of any distiuctcharocter being devel oped. soils to lie properly named by the most scientific. Tills assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances. seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat, at once without regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, lieing nil of it low grade, tlie pulse small and airy, with a general great depression, there (s no practical u-<* ia separating them—at least so fur as mv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will I', required; still comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a few days will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should bo commenced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse became- fuller or lager in volume, then to be continued >nce in six or eight hours till tlie fever entirely subsides. In bad cases, from three to live grains each of ijuimne anil capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions of some liejhdic should he given occasionally, even though the h.Twels should he very loose. The patient should lie sustained liy nourishing and mucilftgenous drinks—such us are iu common use iu such cases.— Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging tin- surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.

Given teaspoon ful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or half tlie quantity may bu given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boneset tea should he given warm till the violent symptoms are alluyisi, or the patient Ih relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard planter, or something ot the kind, to be applied over tlie scat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Ilubeoln and (scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which iu fact is tim most prominent symptom, the treatment differs line little from tliut of common level s. Ilemcmber never wait to learn the “mime,” whether it is one dr the oilier, or neither, us they all commence with freer, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will b a but little. eruption even in small pox. This, hi most mi nils, is anew idea, and doubtless will bu regarded with ridicule by many. J nevertheless boldly make the assertion, tliut small (six, if treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its i nulling its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, hut a.l that I hold most dear; In-sides, on this subject, i itave good authority; that of ITof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: ” You may abate tlie force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, Ills believed, tlie number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliut it may he done. I nave not only proven it may be, hut has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship, (see the account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts er castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut It should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, tin- tongue and sauces were so much swollen that the patient could not swuliow or speak, and ho was cured liy dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, wlien it was given in teaspoonful doses reery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used hi wot the throat frequently, It is doubtless the best gurgle in all such cases. I’ncr|eral or Childbed Fever. TliiH heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire anil per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fover continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot retrain from making a few general remarks, which; if regarded by tin- ladies, will save them luucli pain and suffering. It ia to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains und difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, l give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should lie appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it. when occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the “,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrliu-u, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tlie lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou ble ; if tin- patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do nay good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” lit the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease w ith which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. l’arties may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz;— A atliai-tirs.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or harks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be goodforsurh purposes. H• putlea.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any ot the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tlie -■ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Hone st". or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Luudunum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not property astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Artioles that raise or excite tlie system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences tire all more or less stiinuTiting. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are gi netallv used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er ■■ dia phoretic.” “anodyne,” --diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than ktiowu in the materia medica. 1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and w ill only refer to one instance of success, thnt on the Parkrtalii]i Duchess O'Orleans, which cannot be classed among ordinary certilicatos: We. the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on the pitoketahip Duchess diirlenns Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ aud hound for New- York.

OR MI ASMA. riMIKSE diseases are common to many localities of the Luffed .--Lutes; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same iniasnial cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the. atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posite*, there to In the preparation before us, ottered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, uuil tints restores end preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any hut tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tin- following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will bo effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should niak“ its use again necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility und Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede ciucs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite anil strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class iu the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tlie CERE iu every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all tlie resources cf science iiad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, anil when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarinlcssneas, Tlie lollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evety bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. “I Itave made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an! tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves liy tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tin-poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will olten be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tiie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution, —In certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and ulso the air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud uestroy, to a deg.eo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

MASOF’, Apothecary. 20 Itotties Perform 20 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1856. .James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sirl have just sent an order to Ames k Hiilliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ Ilot Cakes,” und I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever w here it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. slr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington. Its sule will only be equalled by the number of Fever and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet have a bottle for every case. We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS & ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sip—Your medicine has met with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I have about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although 1 was not authorized by you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.— Rut not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the medicine I have received, for which please send me a receipt. Ship the me as soon as you can—there never lias been as much Chills and Fever since 1 lived in the State, as at present. Yours, Ac., RICHARD MARTIN, P. M. ‘4l Bottles Perform 31 Cures. Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1865. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the cenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your F’ever und Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur m ‘dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. Iu another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not ia the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the rnedi i ine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Se.pt. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the tiuuily of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its nu-rits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who bus been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible iu o every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can ulso Bay that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of F’ever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de oility or auy kind of intemperance or dissipation.
